Rails Fullcalendar show only current employee events - ruby-on-rails-3

I would like the arshaw.com/fullcalendar to show only events for the current user.
The code for Fullcalendar selects the date with this statement:
eventSources: [{
url: '/events',
}],
The Events table has employee_id in it. How do you configure a url so it gets only the json records for a certain employee?
url: '/events?employee_id='2'
Any ideas?

I do this on my server side. I wrote a query that returns only tasks that have owner_id the same as current_user.id. Even if you decide to do this on the client-side, you should still have server-side validation to check whether the user logged in really has employee_id that fullcalendar submitted.

React Admin - Make input for filter based on other resource

I am using React Admin to make a dashboard and I have this Lead resource with the status field, that is computed based on another resource, Call, and wanted to make a filter component for Lead's list. The way it works is that for each lead, I query the last call (sorted by a date field) associated with this lead and get its status. The lead status is the status for the last call.
{ filter: { lead }, sort: { date: -1 }, limit: 1 }
the lead status query
I use this query to make a field (that appear in the list in the row of a single lead), and wanted to know how I can make an input component to use as a filter in the list. I know this pattern is weird, but it's hard to change it in the backend because of how it's structured. I am open to suggestions concerning how to change this messy computed field situation, but as I said, I would be satisfied with knowing how I can create the input component.
The solution I'm going with is a computed field. In my case, as I use MongoDB, it will be done through an aggregation pipeline. As I'm using REST instead of GraphQL, I cannot use a resolver that would only be called in the need of the status field, sometimes resulting in an uneeded aggregation (getting the last Call for a given Lead). However, it won't incur in an additional roundtrip - and instead only consume more processing time in the DB - which would be necessary for react-admin to compute this field in through a reference. And status is an important field that will usually be needed anyways.

Zoho People API Today Birthday

I'm using "Search Records based on record values" People Zoho API in order to get the list of the users that have a birthday today.
Purpose: This API is used to fetch all the records of a form based on
the record values.
Request URL:
https://people.zoho.com/people/api/forms//getRecords?authtoken=****&searchParams={searchField:
'', searchOperator: '', searchText :
''}
but none of the operators allow me to search for Date_of_birth in "like" mode. For example:
https://people.zoho.com/people/api/forms/employee/getRecords?authtoken=c****&searchParams={searchField : 'Date_of_birth', searchOperator : 'Starts_With', searchText : '2-Jul'}
will return error:
The search operator 'Starts_With' is invalid for the search field 'Date_of_birth'
and other date operators, not allowing to get a list of records that have a birthday in the specified date.
Am I using the correct method and what are the proper parameters?
If I'm using the incorrect method, what is the correct one and proper parameters to be used?
The received official answer from Zoho support states such functionality doesn't exist in Zoho API. Hence it's not possible to get a list of employees who have a birthday today:
Hello Oleg,
Greetings from Zoho people!
With regards to your query,
As of now, we do not have any options to fetch the employee whose birthday falls today through API. If he wants to be notified when the employee has their birthday, we can set the mail alert via workflows.
Have a great day !
An API that can fetch users whose data attributes has been modified in Zoho people.
(E.g. Any users whose any attribute is modified at Zoho end in last 24hrs should only be captured by API )

Set value dynamic action not working in apex

I have a problem creating sql dynamic action in oracle apex v4.2. I have two fields, Department number and department name. Department number is a text field with autocomplete. The department name is a display field. On changing the department number, the department name should be displayed by an sql query.
I created a set value dynamic action on department number, giving the correct values in page item to submit and the correct sql query referencing P3_DEPARTMENT_NO.
When i run the page, after select a department number, the department name is not coming up automatically.
Could you please suggest on what i might be missing.
Thanks in advance.
You can try use this way:
First step: In the Shared Components -> Application Processes: create a process myProcess an put your sql dynamic in.
Second step: Create a javascript function myFunction to call the process myProcess.
Third step: Use onChange event to call your javascript function myFunction.
Also you can find a lot of exemples on Denes Kubicek app: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:101:116042570427567.
Best regards,

The exact behaviour of autocomplete lists is probably browser dependent, but generally speaking, don't rely on the "Change" event, as it won't necessarily fire when you select from the list.
You'll need to experiment to get the behaviour you want in your particular situation, but as a starting point you might want to try replacing the "Change" event type on your dynamic action with "Lose focus". That way the dynamic action should always be triggered when you tab or click away from P3_DEPARTMENT_NO.
In similar situations in the past, I've used "Key release" instead of "Lose focus", and I've created a second dynamic action which does the same thing, but triggered by "Get focus". That combination ensures that the display field stays synchronised with the user's selection, whether a value is keyed in or selected from the autocomplete list. Whether or not you go this route depends on how happy you are about the database being hit with your department name query every time a user interacts with P3_DEPARTMENT_NO in any way.

Organising resource (URI) in REST API

Scenario 1
In my web application say for there is a screen for adding an employee to system. As soon as user tabs after entering name of the employee, it generates the employee code automatically (which is the next field) based on some logic and already present records in the database.
Now I want to expose rest API for this application so that third party devs can build on top of it. So, I will have a resource called as /Employee which will respond for GET, PUT and DELETE verbs. But when a client needs to autofill the code, which is a GET operation, it will be on what resource? Should I make a new resource /EmployeeCodeFor/{Name} or I should get it on /Employee/{Name}/GenerateCode? If I go with /Employee/{Name}/GenerateCode then what about my resource to GET, PUT and DELETE for Employee i.e. actually /Employee/{Id}?
Scenario 2
Here lets take the case of a stackoverflow post. So lets say the resource would be /Post/{Id}. In the same way as in the previous example it lists me possible duplicate question as soon as I tab out of the Title field.
Again on what URL I should get those possible duplicates?
I can't think of more scenarios just now. But many such kind of scenarios may come up in real life application development. How to implement them in RESTful way?
Update on scenario 1
Code and Id are two different fields. Id is primary key, code can be duplicate across departments just to illustrate. Also to generate a code, name should be provided first. So, if user types a name "FirstName LastName" then server might generate FL003 as code assuming that there are already two more employees with firstname starting from F and lastname starting from L in the said department. Department can be identified based on the logged in user.
One way to allow the server an opportunity to pre-fill a bunch of elements in a new resource is to do
POST /Employees
{with empty body}
=>
201 Created
Location: http://example.org/employee/3443
<Employee Id="3443">
<Code>E1001</Code>
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</Employee>
This gives the server one chance to provide default values. If you are looking for a more interactive way for the server to provide feedback during the input, I have another approach but it will take quite a bit more explaining.
Scenario 1
Let say your employee code is a unique identifier. In this case, to get it, you would allow the user to complete any field for the new employee and then make a POST. The server would generate the code and respond to the POST with a link to /Employee/{generated_code} which is the record for your newly created employee.
A GET on /Employee would return a list of all employees. A GET on /Employee/{a_code} will give you the employee detail.
Scenario 2
You could have some kind of query on the /Post collection like /Post?title_like={question_title}. A GET /Post?title_like=REST How to would return you a list of all questions containing "REST How to".

Getting user profile data in Silverlight 4

I am fairly new to Silverlight and RIA services, and I am trying to build a small project to understand it. So basically I created a Business Application, and I have the normal Login screen where I can add a user. That is fine and I can add a user and get him into the aspnet_Users table. Now I have created some extra fields, like Mob No, Tel No, DOB, Locality etc, which I have put in a table I have created called the UserProfile, and my idea is to get the username that was registered, and insert it into my UserProfile table with the other relevant data.
So I created a page called Profile.xaml, I created a UserProfileDomainService.cs where I have just one query, to get the user profile data from the table, and then created a Details DataGrid on my page, and the QueryName in my case is GetUserProfilesQuery(). Now what i wish to do is, get the user logged in, get his username, and check in my table to see if there is already data in the table. If there is populate the fields on the DataGrid with data, so that the user can modify this data, and if not, allow the user to insert data into the table.
So I have created a UserProfileViewModel class, and I want to create the query to get the data relevant to this user. However I got stuck on how to do all this, and how to get the user logged in.
Can anybody give me some advice or point me to some tutorials on how I can achieve this?
Thanks a lot and your help is very much appreciated.
In your domain service query you can use ServiceContext.User.Identity.Name to get the information specific to that user to include in your db query. I do something similar in our project.
We use entity framework so the LINQ to Entities query looks like:
return this.ObjectContext.UserSnapins
.Include("Snapin.EvolutionModule")
.Where(si => si.User.UserName == ServiceContext.User.Identity.Name)
.OrderBy(si => si.PageOrder);
